I feel like putting down my phone for a year will allow me to focus on being more productive. It will free up time to help friends and family. I am on my phone too much in my free time. I also want to be an advocate for people without access to smartphones. Being resourceful outside of using a smartphone to answer any questions, and learning new ways to extract the information I need. I'd love to see how I can overcome the challenges that come with less access to media.

The Boxing Video. Not to be confused with the wildly popular unboxing videos out there! #boxitup
I cried laughing at this so I’m sharing without @dallimorejr ‘s permission bc you have to see this. Get it before she wakes up on the East Coast and makes me remove it.

Live. Love. Eat. Wise words from @thebasilbox. We will soon be celebrating the opening of their 9th location at Bathurst and College - all of you in the neighbourhood, keep your eyes open for some fresh deliciousness.

One of the more challenging parts of our business is shipping. We design all of our bookcases to pack flat and put hours into the shipment planning process for every new item we create. Today we packed this big, beautiful shelving unit into two slim boxes. She's headed to Switzerland now! 🌎✈️🌍🚞🏔️🏡😁

Lessons in Moving I want remember always:
1. Looking outside yourself to bless others and committing to your community, maintains your strength and standing internally.
2. Your children need you to talk to them about life, changes, celebrations, and challenges, no matter their age!
3. Schedule and do not neglect times to rest as a family.

Tonight, while eating a thrown together meal of leftovers around our table in our mostly packed kitchen, we spent some time talking about “special memories we have at this home”.
I am not an overtly emotional person, but it took a lot of effort to hold back tears as my kids talked about what they were thankful for in this home. From s’mores around the fire pit and impromptu ballet performances to family game nights, baseball in the front yard, bringing baby brother home, and @stephanie_letney graduating medical school/residency—all the life we’ve lived here was reflected to me all at once.
What hit me the most was this: they were watching the whole time. And they remember-often more clearly than I do. What I am thankful for, they will learn to be thankful for. What I take for granted, so will they.
So I’m not entirely sure how, but it makes me want to be so openly thankful for every little step in the journey- so that they will learn to treasure the little things.
With a little less than 10 days left in this amazing wooded retreat we’ve called home, I too am thankful.
And speaking of thanks, @sammowmcgrawrealtors is amazing. She has gone above and beyond in our journey. If you’re even thinking about moving, she’s the one you want to talk to. Thank you Sam for everything in this process.
